UK Standards for HIV Care Online for Comment

In order to help with the planning of HIV services and to ensure that HIV positive people receive access to the appropriate levels of treatment and service, the British HIV association (BHIVA) have drafted "Standards of Care for People Living with HIV".

It is hoped that the document will be used during and after the proposed national changes in NHS reorganisation and be used for planning both national and local services.
